It's part science that allows us somewhere to start from and turns into a BLACK ART within a short time. There are that many things that affect you. Going back, when I was on mdi, I had a particular yr 9 class I had to bolus 3 units for.

it feels like a black art a lot of the time too
try telling your Consultant that when he is looking at your uploaded readings and thinks you must be somehow making them up and inputting them to your meter :eek:

Hi @himtoo, I find that most of my stubborn sugars tend to be pump/cannular related. When I correct I disconnect and let the insulin flow through out of the cannular so I have a record. Then I correct with a pen into the thigh muscle. I find that's quicker.
I've heard that some people think the site can get a bit 'waterlogged'. I take roughly 25 units a day on the pump but if I go above that the site doesn't work as long.
Other reasons? The wind has changed direction, it's raining, it's sunny, I didn't put my lucky socks on ......

I dont do any of that as its too much hassle especially if the set is in my backside or arm. I just use my Expert bg meter and use the bolus wizard to log the correction by pen and then look at the Bolus Advice on the bg meter menu to see how much of the correction dose is remaining and then deduct from any bolus given by the pump later for food once bg levels have come down.
